So I'm back to Utopia after a long absence - maybe 10 years or so. Been playing for about 6-8 weeks now - I forget exactly. I'm in a pretty small KD that is relatively inactive - very casual. I have utopia idling in the background for a large part of the day so my activity is pretty high. My province is alright at the moment but I'd like to get it that bit better and I know that I'm still pretty rusty so I want to kind of get some input by the more experienced guys to get the best out of what I have. I chose Human Merch because it seemed easy enough to ease back in and it has ToG which is pretty handy!
Atm I am a little over 1000 acres:
30ppa
45dpa
60opa
1.5wpa
2tpa
Buildings:
10% farms
10% homes
15% banks
15% TG
10% barracks
10% guilds
10% towers
10% stables
I was thinking about putting the last 10% into forts (which I have never used before), but I'm not sure. I could easily take the 10% homes out too but I don't know where I should put it.
Science:
13% income
8% BE
9% pop
30% food
5% gains
30% thievery
6% magic
Help would be brilliant. I prefer to run big offense and around 40dpa but it made me totally stand out in last war and I took a beating. Also, I read people talking about keeping elites instead of def specs for defense to make you 'less vulnerable' - why is that?
Thanks!
